C. P. & T. Oddfellows, Rebekah of the cost of education in Huron County. Now Mr. MacNaughton may be excused for having dif- ficulty with figures, because he is new to the Treasury. More- over, he undoubtedly received these figures from Mr. Davis, who presides over that Parkin- sonian nightmare, the Depart- ment of Education. "The First Huron County School Board welcomes his as- surance that they may expect even the lower of these figures, since this will be a relief to the taxpayer. The Provincial share is well less than 65 percent, as will appear in the press when the audited statements are re- leased from the Queen's Park computers. "It appears that this share will decrease further when the debentures are floated, since the Province is only assuming about half the cost of construction on which to apply their grants.

Huron is an agric- ultural county, and there is very little industrial taxation for any of the municipalities. Why should we not pay for some of the increases out of our provincial pockets, and keep our local taxes within reason? "Come now, Mr. MacNaughton, have you no influence with your fellow members of the Provincial Cabinet?" it he that Stanley and Tucker- smith are alone in the County in this position? "A possible explanation for this discrepancy, of course, is that the Provincial Treasurer is announcing Government policyon the hustings, and indeed is ac- cepting Mr. Nixon's proposal to relieve us locally of further tax rises. If so, I suggest he passes this measure through the house before the election, since other- wise our credibility might not bear the strain. "Now it would be naive for anyone to expect that taxes would not increase. I recall hearing in school of a revered English Mon- arch who convinced his subjects that he could not stop the relent- less advance of the tide. With the increase in wages and prices, and the never-ending growth of beaurocracy, the patient taxpayer is being milked with greater finesse each year. "Ontario will not increase taxes in this election year, and is building a large increase in the deficit for the increased costs. This, mark you, is also done at the expense of the local taxpayer, but his property tax will not be due until after the provincial election. Our Treas- urer knows that should he be re-elected, he can make up the deficit next year, and if he fails at the polls it will be an embar- rassment to his successor in office.

E. BURT The big item of interest this week I think is the big pee wee tournament which was held here at the centre, Saturday, March 18 which to me was a great success. Now I will list the trophy win- ners starting with B class group winners Lambeth, consolation winners, Delhi; C class group winners, Huron East with the consolation trophy going to West Lorne; D class group winners, Dorchester with Ilderton picking up the consolation trophy. The H. B. Langford Trophy for good conduct on and off the ice went to Northbrae for the fourth consecutive year. Quite a record! The best goalie trophy went to Gordon McLellan of Strathroy and the M. V. P. award went to Randy English of Lucan. All the games were pretty close and I think that most of the par- ticipants, if not all, had a very enjoyable day. 7:45 p.m. See Rev.
